Is Steam down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Steam successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 1,012 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 939 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 692 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 777 ms |
Based on 3,284 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.
What can be affected on Steam?
These are the main Steam functions that can experience separate issues.
- Login & authenticationTest signing in from a private browser window or another device

- Game serversCheck whether a different region or server responds
- LauncherRestart the launcher before reinstalling anything
This list shows which parts can fail on their own. It does not mean any of them is failing right now — the live status above is the only claim we make about the current state.

About Steam
Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve for purchasing, downloading, and playing computer games. Users interact with the store for new releases, the Steam Community for forums, and Steam Cloud for synchronizing saved game data across different devices. Disruptions typically interfere with friend list connectivity, game library synchronization, or the ability to process payments during seasonal sales. Because these outages can be regional or global, Rimetry observes the Steam network's health to provide real-time updates on its operational performance and connectivity status.
Problems with Steam can affect login & authentication, store & purchases, downloads independently.
Steam (steamcommunity.com) is a gaming service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Steam is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 402 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to steamcommunity.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Steam include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is Steam?
Valve's game distribution platform.
Steam is part of our Gaming category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.
Common issues
- · Cannot connect to the login or authentication servers
- · Matchmaking never finds a game
- · High latency, rubber-banding or disconnects
- · Store purchases or entitlements not appearing
Similar patterns often surface across other gaming providers — cross-check against the global outage map.
Troubleshooting
- · Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
- · Retry the purchase later — store errors are usually separate from gameplay
- · Check whether offline downloads still play while streaming fails
- · Friends lists can fail while gameplay is unaffected
- · Fully quit the launcher and relaunch — background processes keep stale sessions
- · Verify or repair game files if patching failed
- · Try a wired connection; packet loss on Wi‑Fi looks like server trouble
- · Switch to a different region or server if the option exists
- · Disable a VPN, which frequently breaks matchmaking
- · Check Steam's official social channels
